A few months ago I had a crazy idea: NYC is the mecca of publishing. Tons of authors either live here or visit often since all of the big 5 publishing companies are based in the city. So what if I organized a monthly dinner where authors could connect and learn from each other? This way they could share their publishing experiences, and I could be a literal fly on the wall and soak up knowledge from them. Although I haven’t written a book yet, I cold emailed a few authors and to my surprise they said “Yes”! Through the dinners I’ve been able to learn a ton about writing, editing, and marketing books, but more importantly made several new amazing connections with people such as: -James Clear -Terry Rice -Jimmy Soni -Nick Maggiulli -Rob Henderson -Jonathan Goodman There’s now a waitlist for the NYC dinners and I’m also planning ones in Toronto and Austin soon. Two big takeaways: 1) If there’s no community or you can’t get invited to a community, build your own. 2) People love to connect, they’re just busy and don’t want to deal with organizing or scheduling things. Do the boring work and you’ll be rewarded for it. PS: If you’re an author who’s interested in joining us, DM me!

This is Shane Parrish. He's a NYT bestselling author who reads 100+ books a year and has a library of 4,000+ books. Here are 17 helpful reading tips from him: 1) Speed-reading is bullshit. Getting the rough gist and absorbing the lessons are two different things. Confuse them at your peril. 2) Finishing the book is optional. You should start a lot of books and only finish a few of them. 3) There are no rules when it comes to choosing books. We don’t have to read bestsellers, or classics, or books everyone else raves about. 4) Book summary services miss the point. Summaries can be a useful jumping-off point to explore your curiosity, but you cannot learn from them the way you can from the original text. 5) Fancy apps and tools are not needed. A notebook, index cards, and a pen will do just fine. 6) Your first goal when reading is to not be a passive consumer of information. You want to get better, learn something, and develop your critical thinking skills 7) Quality matters more than quantity. If you read one book a month but fully appreciate and absorb it, you’ll be better off than someone who skims half the library without paying attention. 8) There’s an advantage to be gained from reading things other people are not reading, because you will gain knowledge and insights that not everyone else has. 9) The more interesting and relevant we find a book, the more likely we are to remember its contents in the future. 10) You have to have some idea of what you want to get from the book. If you don’t read with intention, what you read will never stick. 11) Periodically ask yourself questions like: What can I learn from this story? What in this book parallels or pertains to my own challenges? What are the differences? How might I apply some of the insights I’m picking up? 12) Skim a lot of books. Read a few. Immediately re-read the best ones twice. 13) The best technique for notetaking is whichever one works for you and is easy to stick to. 14) Rereading good books is of tremendous importance if we want to form lasting memories of the contents. Repetition is crucial for building memories. 15) The first time you write in a book can be unnerving, but in the long term, it leads to a rich understanding and a sense of connection with the author. 16) Take the time to make a plan and decide how to implement key lessons from the book. 17) The goal is not to read as many books as possible. The goal is to gain as much wisdom as you can. - - - PS: Looking for awesome books worth reading?
